It's Friday night, everyone's going out The whole city's full of sound You hardly dare to go outside But everybody's got to go tonight There's ice-cream stands, there's people all around You know every face in town You say Hello but walk away You know what they were gonna say Let's go see the fireworks So beautiful up on the hillside You wish you had a place to be alone A seat upon a wall of stones To rest from your life on the run And glimpse into the setting sun Yes you have felt this way before A state of mind so insecure As if the devil was in your throat The devil knows what this is for And in your brain must be a hole The more you think the less you know In a few weeks you will be long gone You'll be long gone, long gone Here they come the fireworks In bloom up in the deep blue city sky
